Scrumptious.

Good.

I hate this hacker crap.

It's disheartening to me that genuine questions are the cause of so much ire, but when one reflects on basic human nature, it should be expected.

After many years of studying Japanese history, I've come to agree with the opinion that Japan has a culture of masochists ruled by sadists. Well, that's pretty much the entire human species, but the Japanese especially so.

You shouldn't be down voted like this.

Claro que si, por supuesto, y con gusto.

Moral posturing is a an agent provocateur's strategy? Can you link the document?

Do what? Political purge?

Vapid contrarian moral posturing with claims of Marxist purity? Surely, you jest!

I'm not a pacifist. People kill other people for a lot of reasons all the time. Some of them good. What makes you think only <insertStrongLeaderHere> can judge who deserves to be "purged" en masse?

CCP and Republican™ Political disinformation, propaganda, and bullying from multiple actors and entities can and do occur simultaneously.

Very few, if any, political parties across the planet are benevolent to average citizens.

What makes you think you'd survive a purity test by a "strong leader"?

He worked for decades on that to cement an unholy alliance between plutocrats and the religious conservatives.

But they are...

Once again, here's one at $750.

Not pre-installed.

Here's some great laptops with GNU/Linux pre-installed.

Here's another company!

There are vendors supplying workforce laptops and miniPC's running MintOS for less than $350 per unit, in bulk!

None of those links prove me wrong.

All of them prove your silly, bogus assertions wrong.

Try again.

Nah. Don't have to.

That MacBook will have 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, which is completely useless, not to mention fucking highway robbery when you can buy a Windows laptop for half of that with better specs.

You said thousands of dollars. They're not thousands. And yeah, you can get a cheaper machine. And put some flavor of GNU/Linux on that too!

LOL I'd love to see you prove me wrong. Go on ahead. It's easy!

Highest market share ever, these days!

I don't think you need a CS degree to run through this guide.

Here's all the "techy people you know that might want to help you don't know anything about Linux" coming together as a community to share what they know about the distro I linked to.

Stop being hyperbolic.

Pay thousands for a Mac computer that may not have the features you want, and never be able to upgrade or repair it, or

M1 Air costs USD $750 where I live.

Get a software engineering degree so you can figure out how to install, use and regularly debug Linux. Because even techy people you know that might want to help you don't know anything about Linux.

Hyperbole to sell an easily disprovable false narrative. For what?

Calm down and eat your lunch, Helen.

I've been running Kubuntu for years now; it's convenient to use for me for professional reasons, but I've never used to snap to get new software. I've never disabled the the service. Are there flavors of 'Buntu that are "unsnapped", if you will? I know I should just search for it, but I thought I'd just ask.

Safety words are ignored as a matter of policy.

I'm 40 and a millennial. Who are these writers that fantasize about how my peers and I spend to "appear wealthy"?
